Giving Back, Part I: San Francisco and Michigan Beauty Schools

Published: October 24, 2009

If there’s a Paul Mitchell The School in your area, it may be on your short list of cosmetology schools you’re considering attending. Even if it’s not, the corporate headquarters issues a newsletter for its “future professionals” that offers a nice glimpse into the cosmetology world.

Like many beauty schools, Paul Mitchell emphasizes the role of giving back to the community. For example, the Paul Mitchell schools this year marked October 14 as Free Hugs Day, and students were out there in our nation’s downtowns to offer hugs to anyone who accepted. In August, students at the San Franciso Institute of Esthetics and Cosmetology, a Paul Mitchell partner school, hired a pink limousine to pick up a group of young female cancer patients from a local hospital and brought them back to the school for a day of free pampering. Still earlier in the summer, Paul Mitchell students in Sterling Heights and Port Huron, Michigan, held a fundraiser for the Challenged Athletes Foundation.

Like the one in Michigan, a lot of this industry’s fundraisers are cut-a-thons, typically offering cuts at a discounted price with all proceeds going to a selected charity. Do you think you could cut hair quickly and expertly in order to raise, for a good cause, as much money as possible in an all-day cut-a-thon? Typically, the stylists have a ball, and the clients feel great about the salon’s donation. Check back next time for more on beauty schools and giving back.
